A baseball umpire lay dying. 1t
appears there was lack Of tender usage,
there was dearth Of friendly cheers,
and q player stood beside him as his
life's sands ebbed away, and bent with
rapt attention to hear what he might
say. The "~croaking" umpire faltered
Us he took the players paw, AMI he
said "Old boy, I'm going; you'll miss
my tuneful jay. Say to all your brother
players who were one dear ~ friends
of mine: If they cheek the man who
runs the game, expect they must a

ball club--I think his name is Mike
that he can't expect each ball that's
pitched to be declared q strike and he
mustn't scowl and show his wrath or
make display of gall, when the hired
man behind the plate shouts forcibly
one ballp And just whisper to your
brother not to pause when ball is
caught; such breaks as that will change
o mans decision not q jot. Besides"
he said This glossy eyes we're wet with
tears of brine), "they cannot erumbIe

'coacher, who at first or third is wont
to take his place, not to open up his
fusillade until y mans on base; and,
furthermore, if captain, / would warn
him to desist, for he makes the people

Tell the fellows that an umpire's only
human, after all, and they emit ex-
pect him not to err sometimes in games

keep recalcitrants in line is to sock it

Say to all the members of your club,
whene'er disputes arise, that it hurts
ones feelings to be told direct that he

occupy the field, to hold their ground,

yield. This wordv warfare only serves
to cause delays in the game. You may
hound the umpire most to death, but

marks while seated in the stand, that

A CITIZEN of GAINESVILLE, Ga, whose
pet COW suddenly showed symptoms of
going dry, consulted a COW doctor,
who decided that she had the hollow
tail" and split the tail, inserted a guam
tity of salt and turpentine and bound
it up. Going out the next day to see
how the cow was getting along the
owner caught a half-grown pig, which
he had kept in the same lot, busily Ell
gagged in sucking the cow, and this
accounted for the falling off of milk.
He at once took the bandage off the
unfortunate cows tail.

Juvenile reading Matter.

Scarcely day passes that the press
does not contain an item from some
part of the Union illustrating the evils
that grow out of the reading of perni-
cious papers and stories by children.
Probably not one instance of depravity
in thousand resulting from such liter
ature gets into print. Girls and young
women are doubtless affected more than
are boys and young men, because they
have more time to read and less en-
ployment to divert their minds into use
full and instructive channels.
1t would be great exaggeration to
say that all or nearly all readers of dime
novels and fashy, sensational papers
and magazines go to the bad. A very
large proportion do not become criml-
mails or descend into the slums, but
their views Of life become dwarfed or
distorted so as to render them unhappy,
and they become the cause Of much
unhappness to all connected with them,
either in the family circle or among
friends.
1t IS not necessary that young peo-
pie, and children especially, should have
theirreading matter limited to the goody-
goody books that in some respects are
as Objectionable as dime novels. There
are many excellent books, magazines
and papers now published especially for
young people that are not only highly
interesting but instructive, and tend to
develop the moral character as well as
the mind.
1t is the duty of parents to know
what their children-small or large
read, to forbid the reading of objec-
tionable matter, and to provide for
them wholesome literature.
The daily as we'll as the popular
weekly paper is largely read by children
and youths. While it is objected that
much is published in such papers that
should be kept from the eyes of chill
prem, it is the duty of parents to sepa-
rate the good from the bad. Moral les
sons may be taken and strength of
character developed from the accounts
daily published of great and even infa-
nous crimes. The worthy parent teaches
his or her children to avoid bad COM
pany, and to pay no attention to i'm
proper language heard on the streets.
The conscientious newspaper gives
daily history of the world, the good and
the bad, yet presenting the bad in such
manner as to bring it into contempt,
and to hold the dc ors of the evil up to
public scorn. The evil cannot be ig-
nored. Let it be recognized and con-
demned
